care for the little things of White House life
as much rs they do for the presidents mes
sages. Shriver has very brilliant imaSina-
ton, and funny story is told Of one OF his
experiences while he was in Baltimore and
before he came TO Washington. He did at
this time much outside work, and often sold
some of his leading sensations to different

dispatch to The Boston Post. and The Post
published the next day his telegram and their
reply. The telegram was:

The father Of th" Washington correspond
ants is Gen IL V. Boynton, of The Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette. He has been here ever
since the war, and he won his spurs as a war
correspondent He is now about 50 years old,
but is rs active as any reporter OF 2l, and he
write, as well now as he ever did in the past.
Boynton is prominently fighter He is not
happy unless he is in n newspaper contro-
versy, and when he enters one he never stops
until he wins He had a fuss with Speaker
keifer q year or so ago, and the ex-speaker
las, / doubt not, regretted that he ever en-
gagged in the quarrel. Boynton has been
yending his force in an attack upon the Dis
rict commissioners during the past summer,
and venture that there is not q newspaper
correspondent in Washington who has more
influence for radical reform than he. He is
IN especially at:e writer upon political ques-
lions, and he has the politics OF the country
and its war history at his penis end He lives
yery nicely in Washington and is strict
PRESBYTERIAN. ss well as q newspaper CORE
,,ondent. He has pleasant home life, and,
ike several ot!,sr correspondents know, he
ioes not allow any but the most important
telegraph messages delivered at his house

some very good work for The New York

paper work was done as city editor OF The
Milwaukee News. He was afterwards con-
nec.ed with The Chicago Times at Washing
ton, first as an assistant and then as head OF
the bureau. He left The Times for The
Chicago News and fr,im The News came to
The World He is good writer, and one Of
the best dressed men in the profession. He will,
understand, be back at Washington to take
charge of The World bureau during the
coming session.
Speaking of newspaper men, they maintain
the closes: of relations with our public men,
and there is no place where this is SO much
the case as at Washington. The Washington
correspondents are as a rule high toned gen
tlemen, and they are intrusted with secrets
by senator's and cabinet officers which they
could sell foi large amouuts j. they were un-
s.rupuIous There is not . CORRESPONDENT
osre who Is r,s frequently intrusted with i'm
portant news which he would like to publish,
but which no dares not, because the matter
